Verification
Introduction
This Chapter contains test procedures to verify that the Agilent Power Supply is operating normally. There are three types of
tests as follows:
Test Description
Built-In Self-Tests These tests are run automatically when the power supply is turned on.
Operation Verification These tests verify that the power supply is operating normally but the tests
do not check all specified operating parameters.
Performance Tests These tests check that the supply meets all of the operating specifications
as listed in the Operating Manual.
Note The power supply must pass the built-in self-tests before the tests in this chapter can be performed. If the
supply fails the self test, refer to the overall troubleshooting procedures in Chapter 3 of this manual.
If any failures are encountered, or if abnormal test results are observed, refer to the Troubleshooting Procedures in Chapter
3 of this manual. The troubleshooting procedures will determine if repair and/or calibration is required. Calibration
procedures are given in Appendix A of the appropriate Operating Manual.

SHOCK HAZARD. The test should only be performed by qualified personnel. During the performance of
these tests, hazardous voltages may be present at the output of the supply.
